My Testimony Where to start. My name is Brooke Hicks, and I am twenty one years old. Back in the day, I had a family and we were: Mormon, Baptist, and practiced Wicca. My mom never had a true interest to get to know me as a daughter, and My Dad was basically my mom and dad. When we got into the Wicca everything fell to pieces. We had just built a beautiful home, New cars, my parents were the on the neighborhood committee, money was good.., ect. All of that stopped. My family was no more. My mom and dad became swingers and loved to party every weekend. Soon after, the got divorced. My mom won custody over me and my little brother. The first year with her was constant yelling, physical abuse and last but not least she kicked me out. This kept on happening until I turned around 15 or 16. I would go back and forth to each parents home until the day that she kicked me out for good. I wasn't a bad kid, I just wanted a mother's love that she couldn't or wouldn't give me. My Dad showed me love, but I never gave up on her. When she kicked me out for good, she made me marry my first boyfriend whom I only known for 9 months. I didn’t know who I was or what marriage was about. Partly she did it to hurt my father. He never walked me down the aisle. Anyways...I stayed married unhappily for almost 4 years. I got my own apartment and started living in the world BIG time. Drugs, selling, smoking myself, going out to the club, private dances, alcohol...ect. ect. I wasn't happy and I knew it. I went to see Roy fields in Powdersville SC. Basically felt Gods touch and love! The love God gives you can fill any void!!!! I had given my life COMPLEATELY to him. I even told him that I didn't want a man in my life... just him. I met the love of my life at the revival....I just didn’t know it until later on. I told God that he would have to tell me who the one for me was.. or else I wanted no part of it. God Finally spoke a month and a half into our new found friendship. We have been together ever since. God is amazing, wondrous, eternal love! That is enough to make me happy. God has even sent me money from unknown sources, brought to Nick ( my fiancé) a beautiful engagement ring, and shown us what he has in store for our lives!!! I know this is ONLY the beginning of great things to come. God is just waiting on us to receive him! The time for the Lord is now and forever!!!

Father you know the persecution that Brooke is facing. The enemy has caused much sorrow to come to her by inspiring these people to do his bidding. The Lord rebuke you Satan in the name of Jesus from any further attack against Brooke and her family.I thank you Heavenly Father for ministering peace and healing to brook. You are a very present help in time of need. Send your angels to protect your Daughter and her family. In the name of jesus.
In the love of Jesus

Nope, never saw Home for the Holidays. But the craziness of the plot you described reminds me a bit of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" which I thought was hilarious. I laugh to myself just thinking about it.
I hope you and your husband have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Unfortunately I don't have any experience with speech recognition programs. I did a little research for you at a few sites I have a good opinion of:
http://lifehacker.com/tag/speech-recognition/
http://ask.metafilter.com/100448/Speech-Recognition-and-Recording-Software
http://www.wikihow.com/Use-Voice-Recognition-Software
Of course, since I've never used such software my research is probably of limited use.
But for questions in general you might find lifehacker, ask.metafilter and wikihow to be of use to you (they often help me, at least). There's also a trick in Google that you might not know about... entering "speech recognition site:wikihow.com" means to find references to "speech recognition" that occur anywhere in wikihow.com. Of course, you can adapt this trick to do any kind of research limited to any specific domain.
Today I got some good news! I heard through my wife that my son worked out his problems at work, he is still employed and has his health insurance. My son said he wanted to just put it all behind him (which is probably wise) so she didn't get a lot of details, but I thank God for his answering our prayers (and thank you for joining me in this supplication).
Best wishes.
Congratulations on the upcoming addition to your family!
Advice on being a parent? Wow, that's a big question. When I was in college, a long long time ago, the big question was "nature vs. nurture", meaning did kids grow up to become their adult selves more because of their inherent nature or how they were raised, or a combination. I think I believed it was more nurture, but looking back I think it's more nature. I think some kids are just naturally out-going or introspective, some kids have better verbal skills and others have better physical coordination, some kids feel things very deeply and brood on them, others things just roll off their back. And then you add to that the fact that we as parents have a nature which shaped our nurturing of our kids, and the whole thing gets incredibly complicated. Short answer: if I had it to do over again I would spend a lot more time with my kids finding out what makes them tick, as opposed to trying to help them learn things or showing them affection or giving them principles to live by. I know, those are very important things, but I think without a two way understanding between the kid and parent it's like pushing string...even if you have a good reason to do it, it just won't work. I am naturally a person who doesn't like to pry and respects other people's privacy, so that nature of mine worked against being a good parent (I think). Luckily my wife compensated for my short-comings, but I still regret the missed opportunities.
On a less heavy topic, do you happen to use a Mac computer? The only reason I ask is that I recently bought a Mac and downloaded demos of a couple software programs that are meant to help you organize your thoughts (such as for authors). I only needed one for a journal, but I thought I'd mention that they exist, in case you had a Mac and needed something to help with the book you're writing. Purely FYI.
God bless.
